Commenti:Life & Beth è il settantunesimo lavoro di Alan Ayckbourn, messo per la prima volta in scena nell'estate del 2008 ed è l'ultimo di una trilogia di "commedie del soprannaturale" con Haunting Julia e Snake In The Grass.
hanno detto i giornali:
What makes the play both comic and touching is Ayckbourn's indignant sympathy for oppressed women. You realise that Beth was cowed by the appalling Gordon, and when his son says "most of the women I've been out with start crying sooner or later", you get an instant image of a grisly inheritance. Few dramatists in history have painted a more devastating picture of the emotional damage wrought by bullying men.

Life and Beth will entertain and delight and it just might alter the way some people think.
